Take a look at the 1-year chart of Avnet (NYSE: AVT) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of Avnet (NYSE: AVT)
Other than the steep drop in September and October, AVT has been trending primarily sideways over the last year. During that time stock has created an obvious resistance level at $45 (red). A break above that $45 level should mean higher prices for the stock.

The Tale of the Tape: AVT has a key level of resistance at $45. A long trade could be entered on a break through that level. However, if you are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made on any rallies up to $45.
